Alongside this humanitarian aid allocation, the EU has reinforced emergency energy assistance. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, the Commission has allocated over €1.4 billion for humanitarian aid programmes in Ukraine and Moldova. The 2025-2026 winterisation campaign marked the largest volume of energy assistance ever delivered under the EU Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM). In addition to humanitarian aid, the EU is helping Ukrainians get through this winter with EU electricity export capacity at a maximum level. In total, EU support to Ukraine since the beginning of the invasion amounts to €193.3 billion.
